From Arcane Bond:
If the object is an amulet or ring, it must be worn to have effect, while staves, wands, and weapons must be wielded. If a wizard attempts to cast a spell without his bonded object worn or in hand, he must make a concentration check or lose the spell. The DC for this check is equal to 20 + the spell's level.
If the arcane bond is on a weapon, and that weapon requires two-hands to wield, does this mean the Wizard can cast spells while wielding their bonded weapon in both hands?
There is a FAQ for that.
Two-Handed Weapons: What kind of action is it to remove your hand from a two-handed weapon or re-grab it with both hands?
Both are free actions. For example, a wizard wielding a quarterstaff can let go of the weapon with one hand as a free action, cast a spell as a standard action, and grasp the weapon again with that hand as a free action; this means the wizard is still able to make attacks of opportunity with the weapon (which requires using two hands).
As with any free action, the GM may decide a reasonable limit to how many times per round you can release and re-grasp the weapon (one release and re-grasp per round is fair).

Oh, I just realized the source of your confusion. Your quote is from an outdated book.
If the object is an amulet or ring, it must be worn to have effect, while staves, wands, and weapons must be wielded.
If the object is an amulet or ring, it must be worn to have effect, while staves, wands, and weapons must be held in one hand.
For reference, it was changed in the 6th printing of the CRB back in 2013.
